Some more TV musing...

[katikat]

So, last night, the CW aired new episodes of their reality show Crowned and the new teeny soap opera Gossip Girl (I heard that the books are better than the show but I didn't read them and neither did I see the show, yet). But why am I talking about it? Neither of them drew in more than 1.8 mil. viewers. With new eps. And no real competition on a Wednesday night. That's like 1 mil. less than the week before. I mean, huh? What's going on? Didn't the CW promote them enough? I have no idea, I'm just curious... Last week, it was Smallville, now these series... The only CW show that got its usual numbers for a new episode was Supernatural.

Apparently, the new episodes of Torchwood will start airing on Jan. 26th in the US, only 10 days after their premiere in the UK. The BBC is obviously milking their best show for what's worth it :D I wanted to buy it on DVD, but sorry, as much as I love the show, 13-ep-series isn't worth 40 pounds or 55 bucks. No way, nuh uh :(

TV Guide's reporters (like Matt Roush? Rush? argh!) suspect that Reaper won't survive the strike because the main story is not interesting enough to keep the show going and the ratings keep dropping, week by week.

But what in his opinion would the CW put on next fall? They just cancelled Life is Wild, Smallville may be gone and they will have no new Pilots to show whatsoever. They don`t have one single project in development. Also they can`t even fill all nights as it is at the moment.

Their reality shows are either fading or bombing so going heavy reality won`t be an option either.
If they cancel one more, they won`t have a schedule to speak of.
